We had an absolutely phenomenal time from start to finish! The home and property are spectacular. We appreciated all the thoughtful amenities that were included. We traveled with 5 little kids who thoroughly enjoyed the lower level with all the toys and games and they loved the kids bedroom with the starry ceiling lights. The beach toys were greatly appreciated as we spent the majority of our heavenly 10 days down on the beautiful beach. The road to get to the cabin is a bit long and “rustic”, but that’s a tiny price to pay for the literal heaven that awaits you. We cannot wait to return next summer!
Heaven!
This is a view I would NEVER get tired of.

As advertised, this is a private and gorgeous waterfront home with direct beach access to Lake Michigan. House was clean as a pin and tastefully decorated. Beach had sugar soft sand and lake water was crystal clear. The inside and outside of the house was stocked with all the amenities needed for a fun, comfortable stay for all ages. There was plenty of room to spread out. We especially enjoyed the pool table, as well as the large deck which could have comfortably accommodated a dozen people. Joni was attentive and promptly responded to every inquiry we had. We loved our stay!

Peaceful Retreat

What a wonderful property! The property is right on the beach and very secluded. We watched the beautiful sunrises every morning. Everything you need is here. We love the area and enjoyed the near by day trips to Pictured Rocks, Mackinac Island and Kitch-iti-kipi. We would definitely recommend this property.

Truly a Gem on Lake Michigan

This beautiful home has so much to offer. Incredible expansive sandy beach, quiet wooded property with lovely landscaping, beautiful sunrises, kayaking, and is loaded with amenities, We enjoyed bonfires every night while watching the sunset over Lake Michigan, witnessed a bald eagle soar over the beach, saw a spectacular full double rainbow over the lake after a rainstorm, and countless deer in the area. The property is so beautiful, I was able to capture so many wonderful senior pictures for my HS senior. The home was clean, kitchen fully stocked, and all bathroom / laundry / kitchen essentials were provided. The host was very courteous and responded quickly to messages. I can't wait to return to this gem!

2 Words - Private Beach

We stayed at this rental June 21-27 for a family vacation. My daughter graduated high school and wanted to see Lake Michigan and we were lucky to find this gem! 8 of us total age ranges 43-12 and it was great for all of us. The lake water was too cold for adults but the kids didn’t care. Kayaks and billiards were a huge hit. The beach is amazing and quiet and private. No fighting for space or crawling through crowds like at FL. We read, we fished, we played games and we slept! The house was so clean and nice and stocked with everything you need, from paper towels and TP, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, to life vests and beach towels, toys…literally all the things! I way overpacked! We didn’t want to leave at all. The drive back to the house is long but that didn’t bother us at all. The views and the short walk to the water was worth long stretch of road to get there. If I was changing anything it would be the dates we visited, the weather was hit or miss with the temperatures, I could have gone for about 10 degrees warmer. We look forward to visiting again!
